The new issue of WSA magazine is now available
31/08/2017
In this issue, we cover the comeback of nanotechnologies in performance textiles as well as taking a look at the problem of pollution caused by waterborne microfibres.
There is a detailed examination of a new Brazilian/Finnish tie-up which could play a crucial role in the future development of cellulosic fibres, and we consider sustainability under a broader definition that includes acceptable labour practices.
We also hear from several outdoor brands as Patagonia tells us about a new safety innovation for surfers, Odlo explains why it is looking to expand from its traditional product base, and Decathlon extols the health benefits of Nordic walking.
